how old are ur rotors? maybe there warping or ur wheels kinda bent or even ur tires. thats wat causes ur shaking in the steering wheel.
wheel bearings, maybe. jack up the wheel in question and see if u can shake it.

This is such a normal problem with our DSMs. I purchased my red TsiAWD new in 1991, it wasn't more than a few weeks (or months, memory is going :eek: ) when I got the steering wheel shakes when braking. The dealership even told me this is a common problem and that the rotors are most likely the problem. Would they replace them without a fight...no :mad: . Damn Satan. The red Talon still has the problem and my white (1992 TsiAWD) Talon does too but to a lesser degree. Now if the steering wheel shakes all the time, chances is that the problem lies within unbalanced tire and/or loose/damaged supension parts.
thanks guys.....i think its the rotors too.
